Geckos are lizards belonging to the infraorder Gekkota, found in warm climates throughout the world.
Geckos are unique among lizards in their vocalizations. Almost every night, from Indonesia to Laos, we heard this nice sound just before the sunset.
Not so easy to catch, the sound of Geckos is one of our favorite sounds of nature in south east Asia!

The khim which has 42 strings is played with two flexible bamboo sticks with soft leather at the tips to produce the soft tone. It can be played by sitting down on the floor with the khim place on the floor or by sitting on a chair or standing.

Ringing offerings next to Buddha
Wat Pho (วัด โพธิ์ Thai, Wat Po) is one of the largest and oldest Buddhist temples in Bangkok. Eight acres, the temple hosts a multitude of stupa and a huge Buddha (พระพุทธ ไสยาสน์). Lying on his deathbed close to nirvana, the statue is 45 meters long and 15 meters high. The feet are inlaid with pearls representing 108 states of the Buddha.
One building is dedicated to the statue, the flood of tourists is flowing without interruption to photograph the Buddha. 25 bols are arranged along the Buddha to collect the offerings of the faithful. The sound resounds in the bowls. We offer you a few minutes of this melody …
Note also that the Wat Pho hosts a Thai massage school and traditional medicine.
